Rain Dance (Japanese: あまごい Rain Prayer) is a non-damaging Water-type move introduced in Generation II. It has been TM18 since Generation II.

Effect

Generation II

When this move is used, a rainfall will start on the field which will last for five turns. This clears any other weather effect and it's possible to use it even if it is already raining.

While Rain Dance is in effect, the base damage of using Water-type moves will be increased by 50%, whereas the base damage of using SolarBeam and Fire-type moves will be decreased by 50%. Additionally, the moves Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight will recover only half as much HP as under clear conditions. Thunder has 100% accuracy under the effect of Rain Dance.

Generation III

Rain Dance will fail if it's already raining.

A Pokémon with Rain Dish will restore 1/16 its maximum HP to itself after every turn, and a Pokémon with Swift Swim will be twice as fast in the rain. Moonlight, Synthesis and Morning Sun only restore ¼ of the user's maximum HP.

Additionally, Castform and Weather Ball move become Water-type.

Generation IV

If a Damp Rock is held when Rain Dance is used, the duration of rainfall is lengthened from 5 to 8 turns. Pokémon with the Dry Skin Ability will regain ⅛ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. Pokémon with Hydration will have their existing status ailments cured at the end of each turn.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the move Thunder has a 30% chance of bypassing Protect and Detect under Rain Dance. This does not happen in any other versions.

Generation V

Hurricane and Thunder ignore accuracy and evasion under the effect of Rain Dance.

Trivia

  • Bronzong is the only Pokémon able to learn Rain Dance by leveling up that cannot learn any moves or have any Abilities that benefit from heavy rain. However, it benefits from the reduced power of Fire-type moves, arguably more so than the others.
    • This characteristic exists because of its Pokédex entry, which says that Bronzong has the natural power to summon rain clouds.
